What's the sturdiest (heavy built) engine cradle out there . The jegs/summit ones just look a little flimsy . Am I wrong ?
I want to put a steel headed BBC on it and I want the wheels

I've used the Summit/All-Star cradles for blocks; they are fine to roll under the bench or in the corner - not sure I'd want a complete engine on one, or for a lot of movement, but I like them because they are compact and have a small footprint and good for shuttling to and from machine shop, etc.; I also put better casters on them.

Some Made in USA options:

They are all flimsy but do the job. I would also buy the cheap one and weld bigger/better casters on it.
